The captivating print titled "Cafe House Cairo Casting Bullets 1884 earlier" by Artokoloro from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history. This oil painting, measuring 21 1/2 x 24 3/4 inches (546 x 629 cm), was created by Jean-Léon Gérôme, a renowned French artist born in Vesoul in 1824. In this artwork, Gérôme transports us to a bustling cafe house in Cairo during the year of its creation. The scene depicts an army of Turkish Sultan's mercenary soldiers known as Bashi-Bazouks engaged in casting bullets. These soldiers were notorious for their lawlessness and brutality, and Gérôme usually depicted them leisurely amidst battle scenes. The image captures the essence of chaos and tension that prevailed during that era. The cafe house becomes a microcosm of society at large, reflecting both the everyday activities and the underlying unrest within Egyptian society under Ottoman rule. Gérôme's attention to detail is evident through his masterful brushstrokes, which bring life to every character present. The play of light and shadow adds depth to this historical narrative while highlighting the intricate architectural elements surrounding these figures. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and invites viewers to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, cultural clashes, and human resilience. It stands as a testament to Gérôme's artistic prowess and his ability to capture complex
